Old-style horror blends with forbidden love in this period thriller. Lucille lives with her domineering father and great aunt in a creepy mansion out in the middle of nowhere. She's about to turn eighteen and longs to go to college to study poetry, but her surgeon father insists the sciences are the way to go.

Feeling as though she has no way out Lucille attempts suicide after rifling in her fatherÂ’s lab. She survives, but is left with hideous burns to her face, which her father chooses to treat at home. He hires a sultry nurse with her own chequered past to look after Lucille. Spending 24 hours together every day leads patient and nurse to discover passionate feelings for each other, the bandages come off and soon a torrid affair begins.
-Emma Smart, London Gay and Lesbian Film Festival 2009

With Abel Ferrara as executive producer, BeattyÂ’s stunningly visceral cocktail of sex and bodily terror would surely merit as well, CronenbergÂ’s seal of approval.

Porn Chic

I was surprised at the very low score of this movie. It seemed like it would not warrant such a low score. I was proved wrong.

The movie is basically a softcore porno. The character development and acting is on par with a porno. The writing and dialogue is on par with a porno. The cinematography is a small cut above a porno. The sex scenes are a cut below a porno.

I could go into more depth on the reasoning behind those four statements, but it seems pointless to reenact the movie in my head. I'll just say that the dad in the movie acts cartoonishly evil. The nurse is very poorly developed and comes off as an implausible character. The daughter seems to have rapid changes in character shift for no apparent reason. And the other characters are essentially beside the point.
